> God ordered Israel to wipe out entire people groups, even the children, while listing the sins they committed (including burning their children alive). As I try to understand the morality of it, it would make more sense if our behavior is passed down genetically because some groups could be corrupted beyond all repair. In fact, sparing just one kid later led to Haman in Xerxes' Persia nearly killing all Jews because that bloodline passed its hate and habits down.

Wonderful, trying to justify the evil, bloody, genocidal, murderous god of the Old Testament with modern pseudo-science - and coming from a Christian, apparently. The religion of love and peace, of course, not like all of those other barbarians.
